Summary

NHTSA records recall 20E070000, published September 24, 2020 and initiated September 11, 2020. Recalling firm: Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, LLC; Bendix Pressure Switch — Service brakes.

What's the hazard

The plastic threads holding the two halves of the pressure switch may strip when the switch is pressurized, resulting in an air leak which, if severe enough, can cause the air system to lose pressure when the brakes are applied. Failure of the front and rear brake switches will also result in a loss of brake light functionality.

What to do

Oshkosh will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake pressure valve, and if necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began September 30, 2020. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
